Fill up on water facts at Great Lakes exhibit.(Field Trip)
The Yak loves lake museums. He's written about several, including the Lake Champlain Basin Science Center in Vermont and the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle.
Dossin is well worth visiting, but its focus is the lakes' shipping history rather than ecology.
So the Yak was thrilled to learn that a traveling exhibit titled the Great Lakes Story opened recently at Cranbrook Institute of Science. It's fully interactive and appeals to both kids and parents who want to learn more about Michigan's greatest resource: freshwater.
The Great Lakes region spreads across seven other states and a Canadian province. Can you name them? See answers in blue box.
Lucky us. The Great Lakes hold a quadrillion gallons of water--one-fifth of the Earth's surface freshwater! That's pretty much all the water we could ever want, though conservation remains important.
So why do so many of us take the great Great Lakes for granted? The simple answer: Probably because we don't know much about them.
Do you? The Yak thought he did--until he tried to answer 10 simple questions on a touch-screen quiz. Each correct answer knocked out a virtual zebra mussel, a threatening lake invader. Sadly for the lakes, the Yak missed five answers. Begone, zebra mussels!
